Reviewed on 5.24.2009 (Review #216)


Ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog here wit my 3rd review fa tha day. This one I'm real anticipated to hear, as well as callin' up tha booking numba tomorrow (tomorrow due to I'm at my aunt's cabin, and there's no service here). Known fa tha HOT "Do My Thang" song, here goes my review fa Lil' Ganggsta (wit 2 "g"s 'cause he a g x2)! Hope I like this as much as I'm anticipated fa it; it's BRAND NEW Louisiana music fa me! Here's my review fa Lil' Ganggsta "Da General Vol. 1"! Start Time: 5:56 PM | End Time: 7:17 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!
 
 
© 2009 CD Review (Review #216) reviewed on 5.24.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "It Is What It Is"
Startin' this shit off RIGHT AWAY wit a song!! I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward!! Wodie On The Beat on tha beat right chea! >>> Sounds pretty good fa a start. Good flowin', as well as rappin' here. Feelin' your 1st verse, and tha hook iz pretty good too (like tha 1st verse). Tha 2nd verse was good; you "doin' yo thang" (lol) on this beat. Nice way into this mixtape! My Rating: 3.8


02. "My Dog" Feat. Lil' Bezzle
Produced by Carleon & LT this time... Glad you got these producers 'cause it makes me see how each one does. Looks like there's a newbie on tha feature, so I'll be lookin' forward to that Bezzle dude as well as you on this! >>> Much better beat start (while tha last beat was actually good). Feelin' tha start, and it sounds like a NICE hook!! Startin' off wit you on tha 1st verse on this TIGHT beat... Great 1st verse, holdin' it down fa ya city and this track! Oh, tha 2nd part of tha hook came up wit tha "my nigga (my nigga), my dog (my dog)..." Tha 2nd verse iz startin' GREAT! That Bezzle dude sounds GREAT on this shit! Great job so far, and I'm likin' tha "duckin' and dodgin'" part; evasion iz a must! I knew by that title that it would be good. Thank God you didn't make a song like this depressing! My Rating: 4.4


03. "Do My Thang"
So, LT did this beat? That's 1/2 of who did tha BANGIN' beat from tha last song! Well, I added this song into rotation last month, and I had a huge anticipation level fa it for some reason... It sounds great, and by listenin' to it frequently, I must say: There must be SO MUCH SHIT I can quote on this shit 'cause this shit iz FILLED wit GREAT SHIT!!! I'ma play it, and stop it in between to quote shit: >>> 1st off, nice beat, and somewhat nice repetitive hook. Next, commenting tha "fresh tee and some 'bauds, mane" part. I give you props fa wearin' tha 'bauds, as well as tha fresh tee too! Gotta FUCKIN' LUV tha "wit a blunt rolled up, my 'bauds fallin' as I walk" part at :31; people saggin' get a MEGA PLUS from me, as well as smokin' dat good kush, ya dig! I like your "black tee iz fa this day, and white tee iz fa tha otha" part at :40. Thumbs up to your "black 'bauds" at :53! GREAT 1st verse right there, and it doesn't stop 'cause tha 2nd verse offers a lot too!! Startin' off tha 2nd verse at 1:37 wit "Coogi don't catch my eye, 'bauds iz my reply." That line caught my attention 'cause it shows your turn down of Coogi, lol. I luv Coogi 'cause of tha polo-type and tha coolness of it. I like how you also "replied" wit "'bauds," lol. And your part at 2:23 wit "put it back up in tha mornin', bitch! [referin' to your tee]" You REALLY into your tees, as well as stayin' fresh; I feel ya on this! I luv my polos, as I wear 'em like 30 of 31 dayz of tha month. Great song right here; hope it's payin' off fa ya somewhere! My Current Rating: 4.5


04. "How I See It"
This one has D-Low on tha beat (anotha new producer). Lemme see "how you see it" on this track... >>> Great Early 2000's Louisiana type beat, so good production. I thought it started wit a hook, but it went right ta tha 1st verse. Sounds like some pretty good shit goin' on here, although I don't know what to say... At about :57 in, you talk about "some niggaz got picked up fa cane;" interesting, and it's sad to see them get picked up 'cause they gotta pay tha price. Really, they should've paid more attention! Tha hook was good too on this. Let's see what you got on tha 2nd verse here... I know you just said "niggaz bein' 50 when dey 'pose ta be 100%." I have to comment on that 'cause a bunch of people I deal wit sadly be like 0 instead of at least 50. All they do iz delay me, not care about me, and all stupid shit. Hopefully, when I talk to Mr. CEO, he'll keep it a good % real wit me! I mean, you (or him) added me on MySpace before I even heard your music, so that's a plus there. Not bad on tha 3rd verse too on this; thanx fa holdin' this shit down. I like tha echoing ending wit "fuck those niggaz!" My Rating: 4.0


05. "She Wanted That"
Tha "Do My Thang" producer... Hopefully, you can make a good female song... >>> Ooh, no intro; you just started talkin' already. I'm likin' this beat here, so we'll see what goes on here... Sounds like a good story of gettin' to know a gurl on tha 1st verse. You ended tha 1st verse great wit "ya heard me," and then she moaned, lol. Tha gurl on tha hook sounded good; "she" REALLY "wanted that," lol. Nice story on tha next verse wit tha next female; interesting school shit. Ooh, anotha verse, takin' place at "tha bowlin' alley." Not bad, although shorter. Great female song, and great beat ending too. My Rating: 3.9


06. "Man In The Mirror"
So, that's their official name: Mod Production. When I heard them, I thought they had to do wit a "mob", lol. Well, I previously just heard this on "Pyrex Radio Vol. 6", and I didn't say much about it. At that moment in tha CD, I was pissed (over a few wack songs), so then yours came, and it calmed me down a lil'. I didn't know you had a connection wit Big Jay, so that's watz good. If you type in "Pyrex Radio Vol. 6" (in quotes) and then "Commercial", you should get both tha CD/release party commercial, as well as tha boil and softball game one I made. Glad you got a connection wit da Pyrex headz. Now, lemme rereview this song that was on there... >>> Reminds me more of a Wes Fif styled song... Yea, just like before, I don't have much to say. I think tha hook iz good/catchy. Great street shit. I feel bad fa you on tha 2nd verse as you have "a strict PO." Tha 2nd verse was pretty good too. Likin' your ending wit "you see dat nigga every fuckin' day, ya heard me." I like this song better, so a lil' boost to tha rating. I hope it'll grow on me when I keep hearin' it. My Current Rating: 3.9 (+0.2 on tha rating)


07. "My Circle Small"
Tha Wodie On The Beat dude iz back... I wonder what I gon say wit a title like that? >>> This beat sounds better than Wodie's last one. Tha start sounds interesting wit tha "shakin' yo hand, but in back his head, he got a plan" part. It makes me think of someone takin' advantage of someone. I know people did that to me too much back in tha day, so now, I just consider people under-rating me when they don't care about me!! Good 1st verse, and tha hook sounds like it contributing to what I wrote about fa tha 1st verse. Tha 2nd verse continues that shit in deeper detail, which gives me a thumbs up! Great song fa "knowin' who you're fuckin' wit"! True song right here, and thanx fa keepin' it real!! I actually like tha "Man In The Mirror" song better, as I want that one to grow on me! My Rating: 3.8


½time: This CD iz off to a great start. I definitely am feelin' yo shit, and want to do shit fa you to get ya name out there! Too bad tha commercial I'm gonna make fa this CD might get delayed 'cause of me not bein' in Northeast PA right nah, but you KNOW I gotchu 'cause I fuckin' LUV Louisiana people wit a passion!!! Currently, tha average CD rating stands at a 4.0!


08. "My Shit Don't Stink" Feat. Mayham & Wodieson
Anotha Wodie beat, yet I fuckin' luv tha title!! Looks like you ready ta GO HARD wit a NEW featured artist, who looks like they're ready ta BRING "mayhem"!! A lotta great things are in my brain about wantin' to hear this...!! >>> Already, how tha beat kicked in and shit got me excited!! Sounds like a club banga wit some REAL TIGHT shit goin' on in tha hook!! Yea, "pass you sum water 'cause you goin' off dem thangz!" REAL GREAT hook, and that 1st verse here iz soundin' REAL appealin' ta me!! Sounded like you had fun doin' that 1st verse, so thumbs up! REALLY feelin' this beat from Wodie; he DOIN' it BIG here!!! Let's hear tha 2nd verse... Yea, a newbie (Mayham on tha 2nd verse)!! Nice deep voice here! I like how he said "I'm on them long islands." Thumbs up fa mentionin' a "long island" 'cause I rep Long Island, NY (my hometown), so it was REAL COOL ta hear him say "long island" as a "long island" (different from tha place); nice 2nd verse from him! Here comes you back on tha 3rd verse, "fulla dem new pills!" Sounded like you just went off on that verse, not givin' a fuck! Great consistentness, and REAL GREAT song! My Rating: 4.7


09. "It's Time To Get Paid"
Looks like Wodie wants to stay on tha production (since he keeps gettin' betta and betta)!! A longer song this time (4:38 on tha length), so I hope you come wit that heat again!!! >>> Feelin' tha intro. Sounds like you're motivatin' yaself (and othas) to "get paid" on this shit! Hearin' tha 1st verse, and you sayin' "you're 19?" That's watz good 'cause I'm older than you ('bout ta turn 21 on June 21), so I'm sure you'll respect me more, which increases my luck wit people like you. Good job on tha 1st verse; I wanna hear more shit on this song! Great 2nd verse so far, and I like your "that weed won't leave me 'lone" part. I show SO MUCH LUV ta my weed smokaz 'cause of how many people criticize 'em like they real bad and shit; nahh! Tha 3rd verse iz here now, and you said you "quit school," as well as "cuttin' class?" Not good, but at least you're rappin'... Me, I'm 3 years done wit college now (got 'til 2011), and I'm continuing!! I REALLY WANT my future ta be in Louisiana (especially BR), I'm gonna keep up my commercial knowledge at my college, as well as learnin' more about my major (Digital Media) and my reviewz! Keepin' my buzz STRONG as well as my respect REAL HIGH in Louisiana!! I like your outro; keep sayin' "ya heard me," lol. My Rating: 3.9


10. "Ass Actin'" Feat. Carleon & Lil' Rugga
I like tha title, and Carleon's on tha beat again! This should be some tight shit, ya heard me! >>> Nice start, and it sounds like anotha upbeat anthem! More of a liquor song, which I can't relate to. However, you KNOW I luv my upbeat songs! Tha 1st verse sounded great fa a song like this! Lots of "ass actin'" on this shit! Let's hear tha 2nd verse... Glad tha dude on tha 2nd verse's "feelin' good in this bitch!" Ooh, some "sellin' 3 fa 10" after that, so thumbs up! Ooh, a pill poppa "gon off dem pillz" on tha 3rd verse!! You KNOW I'm lookin' forward to hear what 3rd verse dude's spittin'! Tha dude on tha 3rd verse DEFINITELY did his thang; great voice too! Great shit right chea! Nice outro to tha song as well wit "gone on dat otha shit!" My Rating: 4.3


11. "Boot'n Up" Feat. Civilian
More of Wodie's shit comin' at me, this time wit a part of Louisiana in tha title (da "boot" part). I should be lookin' forward to this, 'specially if there's a new featured rapper! >>> Sounds like what be goin' on in tha Louisiana streetz in tha 1st verse. Sounds like it's a song wit violence, tryna survive tha violence out in tha streets; glad to hear about this. Civilian on tha 2nd verse, considerin' himself RAW 'cause he "tha reason tha church open on Saturdayz!" He did his thang, deliverin' that street shit! My Rating: 3.9


12. "Out My Mind" Feat. Carleon
Ooh, more Carleon shit (as he on tha beat too)! Clockin' at unda 3 minutes, this should be REAL TIGHT, since it's an "out my mind" song!! >>> Great start ta this shit. Good 1st verse, and it sounds like you goin' more "out yo mind" wit tha violence and shit you be bringin' ta tha table. Oh wait, that was Carleon on tha 1st verse; good job from him. Now you, on tha 2nd verse, are soundin' betta! Great job wit your attitude on tha 2nd verse, and Carleon sounds good on that hook. Catchy song right chea. My Rating: 4.0


13. "Up It"
Should be interesting, and Wodie's on tha beat again! >>> Different start in tha beat, but still on that street level. Tha hook comin' in sounds like it's more on tha violent type again. I like that you got "black dickies and a black rag" on; you showin' peeps you ain't a fuckin' idiot! Tha beat sounds good, and that was a good 1st verse right there; keep this shit comin'! Ooh, "break down tha door" and tha "ask fa tha weed" were 2 great parts ta hear! Good job on tha 2nd verse too, and that hook sounds FUCKIN' nice wit you on it; you just deliverin' that STREET shit! Your voice DEFINITELY holds it down! Yes, there's a 3rd verse here too! Good shit, and tha shit continued to be nice throughout tha end! My Rating: 4.1


14. "Fuck Yah" Feat. Trelly Off The Chain & Young Streets
LT on tha beat, and I wonder how good this'll be wit tha collaboration? >>> Anotha hook wit violence in it; gotta have "that iron on ya" ta keep it real in tha streets where you at! Ooh, tha dude on tha 1st verse: How gay that tha haterz are "mad that he polo-buttoned up;" what, they can't afford anything? Keep stayin' "polo-buttoned up" 'cause dude on tha 1st verse fresh! Tha 2nd verse goes to you, and you're just goin' NICE and FAST wit this shit! It's like, you DON'T NEED A BREAK when rappin' ta this shit! Good job from ya on tha 2nd verse. Let's see what we got fa tha 3rd verse... Yea, that dude on tha 3rd verse IZ "hungry in his generation" when it comes to his voice and this shit! Great job on tha 3rd verse, and great track overall! Nice ending, and yea, "y'all still gon shine!" My Rating: 3.8


15. "Get Like Me" Feat. Trelly Off The Chain, J Hustle & Young Streets
Tha last song, clockin' in at a whopping 5:36!! J. Hustle on this (iz that tha dude that fucks wit Down Bad?), as well as tha people from tha last song, so we'll see how err-body does wit LT on tha beat... AGAIN! LOL, it's like a repeat of tha last song! >>> Doesn't sound like an ending song, but it sounds good. Sounds like tha Yung Joc "It's Goin' Down" beat that Nitti did in a part of tha hook? LOL... Tha start of tha 1st verse sounds pretty good. Nice voice to this Rap shit! That's tha Trelli dude, and he did his thang on tha 1st verse. Good shit, and make sure Trelli keeps his voice in tha streetz! Let's see what's on tha 2nd verse... "Big dog status," so tha dude on tha 2nd verse iz official! Great job there, and I'm glad he was "out his body" on this shit! Now, you're on tha 3rd verse here... Definitely in your club vibe right chea. Good job wit tha shit you spit 'cause you're unstoppable when you wanna be you! Last verse, and it's Young Streets... Since that didn't sound like that J. Hustle wit Down Bad on tha 2nd verse, I'm gonna take tha period out his name to prevent confusion. Either way, Streets doin' a nice job on tha last verse. My Rating: 4.0


Overall: Havin' like a gay allergy attack (snifflin' and tearin' like crazy) while reviewin' tha last few songs, but I survived, and tha CD turned out to be GREAT!! You know how to pick beats, producers, and featured people too! Tell err-body I said "watz good," and if anyone wants to holla at me (mainly Louisiana peeps), I'll be GLAD ta talk ta people! I LUV workin' wit people from Louisiana, and I'll continue to keep my buzz high!!! Make sure you "do yo thang" all day 'cause you get a thumbs up from me, bruh!
